If taken within the context that the frequences that will be freed up by broadcasters once they are on the digital broadcast infrastructure will make available lower band, higher bandwidth, longer range frequencies for wireless broadband access - then I believe that the issue *does* have relevance as far as ISOC-KE is concerned. Especially with regards to more affordable and accessible internet services.
Obviously the benefits can/will only be realized if the operators who then get these frequencies can build, roll out and price infrastructure and services that will be "affordable and accessible" to the common citizen.
Any action in this regard has to be a two-pronged lobby that targets TV broadcasters (to give up the frequencies they are currently holding onto) and network operators (to deploy appropriately structured and priced broadband products.
Just my two cents...

ps - Access for all is an issue that has been and still is close to my heart

I think this is outside the mission of ISOC-KE, no?
